Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
OBJECTIVES: Define the spectrum of disease in pediatric inpatients with a positive SARS-CoV-2 test result in a manner relevant to pediatric hospital medicine. METHODS: Retrospective case series of all patients aged <22 years hospitalized at our institution with a positive severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) polymerase chain reaction test result between May 1, 2020, and September 30, 2020. Demographic, clinical, and outcome data were collected and analyzed. RESULTS: Three distinct presentations were associated with acute SARS-CoV-2 positivity. Patients had incidental infection (40%), were potentially symptomatic (47%), or were significantly symptomatic (14%). The average length of stay differed between the significantly symptomatic group and the incidental and potentially symptomatic groups (P =.002). Average age differed among these groups, with significantly symptomatic patients older by >2 years. Fifty-five percent of incidental and 47% of potentially symptomatic patients had at least 1 identified comorbidity, whereas 90% of significantly symptomatic patients had at least 1 (P =.01). There was a significant relationship between obesity (P =.001) and asthma (P =.004) and severe disease. Additionally, there was a statistically significant difference between groups with respect to fever, hypoxia, supplemental oxygen use, duration of supplemental oxygen, and ICU admission, with a significantly higher percentage of patients in the significantly symptomatic group meeting each of these criteria (P <.001 for all categories). CONCLUSIONS: Pediatric patients hospitalized with SARS-CoV-2 fall into distinct categories, which are critical to understanding the true pathology of SARS-Cov-2 as it relates to hospitalized pediatric patients. Most hospitalized patients who test positive for SARS-CoV-2 are asymptomatic or have a reason for hospitalization other than coronavirus disease 2019.
